What is Ethical Investing?

Ethical investing, also known as sustainable or socially responsible investing, considers environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors alongside financial performance. You can choose to invest in companies that:

Prioritise environmental sustainability: Focus on renewable energy, resource conservation and pollution reduction.

Uphold strong social values: Respect human rights, promote diversity and inclusion and maintain ethical labour practices.

Demonstrate good governance: Operate transparently, accountably and with a focus on long-term value creation.

Benefits of Ethical Investing

Ethical Funds are a popular choice for people with many concerns about environmental and social issues. Investing ethically can provide the satisfaction that comes from putting personal values into practice, as well as offering the potential for financial return.

Invest with Purpose: Align your financial goals with your social and environmental values.

Long-Term Growth Potential: Companies with strong ESG practices may be better positioned for sustainable growth in the future.

Ethical Investment FAQs

What is ethical investing?

Ethical investing, also known as Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) or Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing, considers both financial return and the ethical impact of your investments. This means investing in companies that align with your values, such as those focused on sustainability, social responsibility and good governance practices.

What are the different types of ethical investments?

There are several approaches to ethical investing:

• Negative screening: Excludes companies involved in activities you consider unethical, such as fossil fuels, tobacco or weapons.

• Positive screening: Invests in companies known for strong environmental, social and governance practices.

• Thematic investing: Focuses on specific themes like clean energy, sustainable development or gender equality.

Can I make good returns with ethical investing?

Ethical investments can be a sound financial choice. Studies haven’t shown a significant difference in returns between ethical and traditional investments.

How do I get started with ethical investing?

• Define your values: Consider what environmental, social, and governance issues are most important to you.

• Research investment options: Many investment providers offer ethical or sustainable investment funds aligned with various values.

• Seek professional advice: A financial advisor can help you develop a personalised ethical investment strategy based on your goals and risk tolerance.

Where can I find more information about ethical investing?

• The UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association (UKSIF)

• The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA): https://www.fca.org.uk/

• Ethical investment providers: Many investment companies offer information and resources on their websites.
